I've had diarrhea and a pretty bad stomach ache for the past couple days. Today I felt constipated for a while so I drank some juice and after a while, diarrhea finally came out. Does this sound like a specific virus/disease?

Yes, there are several things starting with something as simple as a stomach bug. I would stay away from rich, gas producing foods and do not take Immodium or anything of the sort that further disrupts your natural routine. Make sure to maintain fluid intake to avoid dehydration. Don't go longer than 7 days though without calling for a doctor appointment with these symptoms.

My step daughter has Crohns Disease and it affects her in this way sometimes. Sometimes she has a terrible stomach ache and diarrhea (usually it's caused by something that she has eaten) and other times she has constipation. If it's something that has been ongoing for you, you should go and see your Dr and let them check things out. My dad ignored symptoms of serious constipation and ended up having to have the majority of his decending colon removed and now has a permanent colostomy r/t colon cancer. Hope that everything is ok and I wish you the very best. I hope it's nothing serious.

Yes there could be Celiac disease which is an intolerance to gluten can manifest itself as both constipating and with diarrhea. If the symptoms persist speak with your MD.

You could have a bit of an intestinal bug. Give it a few days...try Imodium. If you have a fever as well you need to go to the doctor.
Long-term diarrhea and constipation could be a sign of many things. See your doctor
In the mean times, avoid dairy products and gas producing foods like broccoli, cauliflower, onions

Check with a doctor because it may signal a number of illnesses and this is just one of the symptoms.

is this something that happens at least once a month? or is this like a one time thing? if its something that happens alot then maybe the flora in your bowels has been disrupted, or could be I.B.S. if its just something thats a one time thing could be a bug. its been going around.

Check with a doctor but it could be irritable bowel syndrome.

To me it sounds like I.B.S you need to see a Dr and get it confirmed.
